Ariana Grande has apologised for licking donuts and saying that she hates America.

The pop star was slammed after a video surfaced of her kissing a man in a doughnut shop and licking some of the goods.

When a tray of doughnuts is put in front of her, she’s seen saying in the video saying: ‘What… is that? I hate Americans. I hate America.’

In a statement to Buzzfeed, she said: ‘I sometimes get upset by how freely we as Americans eat and consume things without giving any thought to the consequences that it has on our health and society as a whole.

‘The fact that the United States has the highest child obesity rate in the world frustrates me. We need to do more to educate ourselves and our children about the dangers of overeating and the poison that we put into our bodies.

‘We need to demand more from our food industry.’

She also announced today that she would not perform at the MLB All-Star Concert on Saturday although she insisted it had nothing to do with the leaked video.

‘As for why I cannot be at the MLB show, I have had emergency oral surgery and due to recovery I cannot attend the show,’ she explained.

‘That being said let me once again apologize if I have offended anyone with my poor choice of words.’
